The oil must clean the sludge out of the lifter for any success. It might be a situation where the lifter has collapsed and won't ever function properly, even if perfectly clean.
It only tics when it is in the process of warming up, usually, about 2 min. into it I start to hear it make noise on and off, once it is fully fully warmed up it rarely makes noise, but it does occasionally do it on and off once it is fully warmed.
